Chavez-Taylor
Honorable mention: Tyson-Ruddock 1. Tyson didn't get the chance to fully finish him after that flurry, thus resulting in having a rematch instead of fighting Holyfield afterwards. Crazy how that altered course of history.
For sure , but he should have been allowed to finish that fight........
What if there was 30 seconds left ? - What if there was 29 seconds left ? - Where is the magic number?
A referee should never make any decision based on how much time is left - never make any decision based on who he thinks is winning. To do so removes his objectivity and makes him bias.
Besides Taylor not only didn't respond to Steele but also never took his left hand off the rope. He needed it to balance himself he still didn't completely have his legs under him.
I swear I remember 1 stoppage
Calzaghe missed like 7 straight punches
The opp ducked/dodged all of them
The ref waved the fight off and the guy had that "wtf?" Look on his face
Lol
wasn't that the manfredo jr fight? or maybe it was another one, he had a lot of KOs like that one :lol1:
It was early but to my eye Groves was ****ed, his legs went a good 40 seconds before the actual stoppage, how he stayed on his feet I ain't quite clear. I don't think Groves woulda made it out of the round much less the fight, but Foster ****ed 'em both and the fans by not letting it go to it's natural conclusion.
Even if that’s true, Froch had been more hurt in the fight than Groves but there was absolutely no chance of Froch being waved off, I think that’s the part that bothers people. Froch was down, out on his feet in too and badly rocked other times.
If you are going to stop fighters for the reason he stopped Groves, then you have to be consistent with both fighters in the ring and we know that was never going to be the case
but that’s boxing for you.
yeah, i was comment this exact same thing lol, some of his "KOs" are so weird :lol1:

so you don't mind fighters getting screwed over as long as your favorite fighters win? ok gotcha.
Of course
I'm still glad Oscar was robbed vs tito
:dance:
This one always gets me
Casamayor. vs Corrales 1
After the sixth round, the fight was stopped because of a deep cut inside of Corrales' mouth. ..by doctor Margaret Goodman. It has to be a 1st.
So if the Ref would have stopped Bradley vs Provodnikov with 3 seconds left after the knockdown late in the 12th, that would have been a justified stoppage? Same situation...
I wouldnt have minded
I liked Ruslan
there was no 3 knockdown rule lol.
Imagine if there was a 3 KD rule in the 1st fight?
We would have missed 4 great fights
I think all 4 was foty candidates
He might have been winning on the scorecards but he was getting beat up.

You think steele was paid off?
Chavez was don king fighter
Or more steele dumbass didn't realize how little time is left?
a year later he stopped the Tyson vs Ruddock fight as soon as ruddock got hurt. This was a fight that Ruddock was giving it to tyson as good as he received. Even hit him, and stunned him in the previous round when Tyson tried to taunt him. As soon as the round began, Tyson got him in trouble and he stopped it immediately. Then there was the Quincy Taylor vs Keith Holmes fight when ANOTHER questionable stoppage that benefitted a king fighter(Holmes). You can't find the holmes vs Taylor fight anywhere online. I have it on vhs somewhere.
The point is that Richard Steele is always in these situations of bad stoppages involving King fighters. How does this happen so much?
My vote is the ref in Oquendo- Ruiz, and the ref in Calzaghe- Manfredo jr.
I was going to mention Calzaghe-Manfredo.
Not that Mandredo had a real chance but he was on a good run before he ran into Calzaghe. It was as if the referee was just looking for a reason to call a stoppage. Prick probably had money on the fight.
oh well. Classic British stoppage lol
